The 10 Easy Steps To Growing Greener Grass


4. Fertilize In The Fall


Most people think it’s important to fertilize their grass in the spring, just before the summer barbeque season – but that’s wrong! It’s much more important to fertilize your grass in the fall before the grass “goes to sleep” for the winter. You need to feed your grass well just like a bear stocks up on food before it goes into winter hibernation. Even though you can’t see what’s happening to the grass during the winter months (if you live in a snowy climate), the grass continues to soak up nutrients and store energy for the next growing season.

5. Maintain Proper pH Levels


Grass grows best when it’s in an ideal pH level. If the grass’s soil is too acidic or too alkaline, then the grass won’t grow. It’s that simple. To ensure your soil is at the correct pH level, gather a spoonful of soil a few inches underground in a few different areas of your lawn. Then test the pH levels. Check your local gardening center to see if they offer this pH testing service, or you may have to send your soil samples to a soil-testing lab. The ideal pH level is between 6 and 7.2.
